Five hundred people or more witnessed
the game of baseball yesterday between the
Pallas Club OF Washington and the Episco-
pal High School Club Of Fairfax County at
Fairfax. The Pallas Club is to be congratu:.
lated because they have broken the record
Of the High School Club, that had won 80
consecutive games, this being their first dc.
feat In two years. The heavy batting OF
Schwartz, StOver and Gerhardt OF the Pallas
Club and Brown OF the Episcopal High
School Club were features Of the game. The
fielding of the High School Club was very
good, but they could not Withstand the
batting OF their visitors. The base running
of Eagan and Homiller and ilrst-base play.
ing Of Gerhardt of the visitors was the best
ever witnessed here. After the game the
Pallas Club was rendered reception and
congratulated upon their victory, and de-
parted for home apparently happy. The
following is the score;

Baseball Personalities.
"Deacon'' White OF the Detroits says
they had a good run over from Phlladel-
phia, and that every man on the team is In
line condition and ready to play good ball
Speaking OF the Philadelphia grounds, he
added that they were so rough It was like
playing bali on cobble-stones. "The press
and public" he said, "are bowling about
the errors OF the Phillles; the fact Is, that
when q stop is made on their grounds 1t is o
scratch catch. The team Is demoralzed,
and every man is praying that the ball
won't come his way. | was on second base
when fly was knocked out to left field.
Bastian said: Thank heaven, 1t didn't come
here.' Now, the Washington grounds were
just about as bad last year; haven't
played on them this year yet. The grounds,
however, are not half as bad as the crowd.
They act like set of lunatics, not like
human beings, and want everything,
whether 1t Is fair or not"
Anson won a So box Of cigars on yester-
days game from an habitue OF Willards.
In chatting about our local team last
night, Just before he left, the big captain OF
the Chicagoes said that Washington had the
strongest batting team In the League, bar
ring the Detroits.
Well, Anson's pets have secured a game
And II Is all the more vexatious, because
the visitors had In the field the weakes,
team Of the four days.
Unfortunately their bad example was In
fectious as THE CRITIC feared 1t might be
and some Of our boys did their best to riva
the visitors In error-making.
True, Chicago pounded Our Jeems, bu
for only actual hits, while on Tuesday they
hit him for II actual hits.

though the visitors were lucky In punching
their hits in the second inning. Our inhelt
was not the almost perfect piece Of mechan
ism that 1t has been.
The boys did very well with the bat
They made IA actual hits, to 12 off Clarl;
son, Is of Baldwin and IS of Geiss.
Every one made hit but Donnelly. Car
roll, Hines and Crane each made 3.

Detroits 10 runs In one inning on Frida.

signed by the Lacrosse (Wis.) Club.
President Reach, In conversation witt
Umpire Wilson after Wednesdays game II
/ Philadelphia, said to the latter: ~ belev
i you mean all right, Mr.. Wilson, but yol
don't know. In fact, you are incompetent
Casey. You broke the boy all up, an,
thereby ratified his support.'

was sent back to Detroit Saturday night.
Hereafter rain checks will be issued t

live innings have not been played. Thes
| checks Will be good for any game. Thi
plan should be adopted In this city.
theatrical manager always returns tn
money or tickets to an audience when n
performance is given. A baseball game
analogous. When five innings are no
played It is no game, and to keep the gat
money Is not right. Let us see change
1t would be good stroke Of policy to issu
rain checks when five innings are no
played. On days when the weather
threatening, many more would go to th
grounds II they were sure they would nc
be swindled out OF their money.
Now Pittsburg is kicking about the uu
piring In Boston. Horace Phillips, man
ager Of the Plttsburg team, sent the follow
ing telegram to Nick Young: "Can't yo
appoint some other umpire for the two rt
naming games we play heres We are sa
isfled to take Radbourn or any Of the men
bers Of the Boston team In preference
Hengle, whom i don't think capable {
umpiring. He evidently intends that th
home club shall have the best Of every
thing; besides, he is too easily intimidatc
by the crowd"
The Chicago Tribune reports Anson {
saying: "The most foolish thing kno'
Of is to give man base-hit when he gel
base on balls or gets hit by the pitcher
There is nothing to warrant such thing
no reason for II; it's perfectly senseless.
don't see why the papers don't jump ont
this man Young about those scores"
Let the New Yorks keep up their prescl
style Of batting and they Will make II war;
for the leaders. They are not out OF I'll
race for the pennant by any means.-[ Ma
and Express.
The weakest spot on the Philadelph
team seems to be at shortstop. The mir
would be stronger by placing Bastian
sbortstop and Mccarthy at second.
Tiernan's base-running pleases the Ne
Workers.
Glasscock questioned several of Quest
decisions yesterday at cost Of $40.
